Over the last decade, Method Engineering, defined as the engineering discipline to design, construct and adapt methods, including supportive tools, has emerged as the research and application area for using methods for systems development. This book contains the papers from the IFIP Working Group 8.1 conference on Situational Method Engineering.
This book is positioned as a rst in a series of books on enterprise architecture needed for a Master of Enterprise Architecture program, and is targeted both at university students and practitioners with a drive to increase their understanding of these elds. As an introductory book, this book aims to explore the concept of enterprise architecture. At rst glance, writing such an introductory book might seem as a straight forward task of setting up a structure and lling in “the blanks. ” However, writing this book turned out to be a pleasant journey of discovery. Based on our past experiences, each of us had a clear understanding of enterprise architecture, based on several years of experi...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference, EEWC 2018, held in Luxembourg, Luxembourg, in May/June 2018. EEWC aims at addressing the challenges that modern and complex enterprises are facing in a rapidly changing world. The participants of the working conference share a belief that dealing with these challenges requires rigorous and scientific solutions, focusing on the design and engineering of enterprises. The goal of EEWC is to stimulate interaction between the different stakeholders, scientists as well as practitioners, interested in making Enterprise Engineering a reality. The 9 full papers and 3 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: on architecture; on security and blockchain; on DEMO; and on teaching.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 10th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference, EEWC 2020, which was planned to take place in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy, and had to change to an online event due to the COVID 19 pandemic. The online event took place on September 28, 2020, October 19, 2020, and November 9–10, 2020. EEWC aims at addressing the challenges that modern and complex enterprises are facing in a rapidly changing world. The participants of the working conference share a belief that dealing with these challenges requires rigorous and scientific solutions, focusing on the design and engineering of enterprises. The goal of EEWC is to stimulate interaction between the different stakeholders, scientists as well as practitioners, interested in making Enterprise Engineering a reality. The 8 full papers and 2 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 23 submissions. The volume also contains 3 keynote papers in full paper length. The papers were organized in topical sections as follows: formal approaches and modeling; the DEMO modeling language; and enterprise engineering practice.
This book brings together enterprise modeling and software specification, providing a conceptual background and methodological guidelines that concern the design of enterprise information systems. In this, two corresponding disciplines (enterprise engineering and software engineering) are considered in a complementary way. This is how the widely recognized gap between domain experts and software engineers could be effectively addressed. The content is, on the one hand, based on a conceptual invariance (embracing concepts whose essence transcends the barriers between social and technical disciplines) while on the other, the book is featuring a modeling duality, by bringing together social the...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 4th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC), held in Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal, during May 5-8, 2014. EEWC aims at addressing the challenges that modern and complex enterprises are facing in a rapidly changing world. The participants of the working conference share a belief that dealing with these challenges requires rigorous and scientific solutions, focusing on the design and engineering of enterprises. The goal of EEWC is to stimulate interaction between the different stakeholders, scientists, as well as practitioners, interested in making enterprise engineering a reality. The 13 papers presented were carefully reviewed and sel...
The AI enabled enterprise uses technology to continuously learn by monitoring its behavior and the environment as well as external knowledge sources in order to automate the decision-making and decision-implementation processes leading to continuous improvement over time. This book discusses the key challenges that organizations need to overcome in achieving an AI enabled enterprise: the role of digital twins in evidence-backed design, enterprise cartography that goes far beyond process mining, decision-making in the face of uncertainty, software architecture for continuous adaptation, democratized knowledge-guided software development enabling coordinated design, low code versus no code, and coherent design. For each challenge, the book proposes a line of attack along with the associated enabling technology and illustrates the same through a near real world use case.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the first Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC), held in Antwerp, Belgium, May 16-17, 2011. EEWC aims at addressing the challenges that modern and complex enterprises are facing in a rapidly changing world. The participants of the working conference share the belief that dealing with these challenges requires rigorous and scientific solutions, focusing on the design and engineering of enterprises. The goal of EEWC is to stimulate interaction between the different stakeholders, scientists as well as practitioners, interested in making Enterprise Engineering a reality. The 8 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion ...
This textbook provides guidance to both students and practitioners of enterprise architecture (EA) on how to develop and maintain enterprise models. Rather than providing yet another list of EA notations and frameworks from A to Z, it focuses on methods to perform such tasks. The problem of EA maintenance, named Enterprise Cartography, is an important aspect addressed in this book because EA is a never ending challenge that increases as the organization transformations pace also increases. The long time perspective also entails the evolution of architectural frameworks and notations, something that does not occur when developing new models. Thus, a catalogue of patterns, principles and metho...
